Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

So child rape is protected if it's claimed to be religious? Polygamy? Welfare fraud?

How about sharia law? Cutting of people's hands for stealing? Stoning women for the crime of being with a non relative male? Or being raped? FGM?

Human sacrifice has been practiced as part of religions around the world throughout history. Is that OK since it's part of someone's religious beliefs? Or animal sacrifice?

Do you really think that all those activities should be protected by the First Amendment? Do you think that those sorts of things are what the Founding Fathers intended to protect?

Can I do anything I feel like whenever I want and avoid prosecution by claiming that it's part of exercising my religion?

To quote you to another here:
“Why don’t you learn what you’re talking about here?

Perhaps you could google up some information on the United States and learn about our country first.”

Apparently you have a problem with the Bill of Rights?
Personally, I treasure this as the premier difference between the US and the rest of the mobs of this world.
